ConvNeXt: the debate heats up between ConvNets and Transformers for vision! Very nice work from FAIR+BAIR colleagues showing that with the right combination of methods, ConvNets are better than Transformers for vision. 87.1% top-1 ImageNet-1k arxiv.org/abs/2201.03545 1/N

The ongoing consolidation in AI is incredible. Thread: ➡️ When I started ~decade ago vision, speech, natural language, reinforcement learning, etc. were completely separate; You couldn't read papers across areas - the approaches were completely different, often not even ML based.

TRECVID is this week. Some nice features of their search task are having a progress set of queries, and using unique relevant as a metric (“novelty task”).

The datasets were not built to be solved. They were built as tools to understand the problem and the systems we build to “solve” them.
